Study finds men's cancer immunity declines faster with age

A recent study has found that immunity against cancer declines at a faster rate in men, due to factors related to the immune system.

The study added that as men age, their immune systems may lose the ability to fight cancer more quickly compared to women, according to Sputnik.

Researchers attributed this to a decrease in the number of immune cells responsible for identifying and attacking cancer cells, as well as the shrinking of lymph nodes, which play a key role in activating immune responses.
